The Importance of Accountability

When we're dealing with anything that is in the realm of value, there's going to be some level of reasonable people can differ on this question. So whether you like chocolate or vanilla is the kind of thing that it's not determined in advance. You might have a preference the one day and might go differently the other day. But again, it doesn't seem to me that we've got any notion of a judgment being in control of the judge. And if there is some point to evaluating the judgments in terms of credit or blameworthiness, it again seems to be very difficult for us to make a differential attribution.
